Description There was originally a heart at the end of the chain on her ankle, but I wasn't sure I liked that, so I cut it out.

Now, the more I worked on this picture the more I started to see different things about it. Like the vulnerability of the girl. When I first started out to draw this she was a boy, and he was supposed to be fully clothed in like a school uniform, but when I started to sketch it out it seemed more appropriate to be a female. It made her more fragile. Also when I sketched the base I couldn't see drawing clothes on it. Again the nakedness added to the vulnerability.... so she was left that way- she is 'covered up', but I'm gonna put the mature filter warning on it anyway.

I don't generally get down into the feelings of my pieces, but this one I feel the need to delve in deeper. She's chained down, at first she put the chain, but as time grew by the chain held her down and held her back instead of keeping her grounded. It stripped her down to her barest being- and left her with this nothingness. I see so many young people, just walk through life chained like this. I pray that they will break the chains, and come through to light and be filled and clothed again with the grace of God. I know people don't like to talk about 'religion', but this isn't about religion it's about a relationship....

"I have found, what I lean on I can't rely on
You breathed words of safety but they're ringing hollow
Let me tell you how I understand things to be
Those to whom much has been given, will much be required

So this is not how it should be. You have abandoned the vow that you have made
And I don't think you're aware of just how much this damages my faith

These threads are undone
And you're supposed to hold
Them together for me
But now my clothes are torn
Where is my father?

I was always here my son but
My promise lacks constraints
So now I'm wrecking you
To help you see

You're not who you should be. You have mistaken your role in all of this
And I know you're not aware of the consequence of thinking so amiss

She's gone, I love you all (x4)

Those threads are undone
Though I've been holding tight
But you've been growing out
Of the clothes I made for you
She's gone, I know she's gone

Come back to me
I'm all you need
She followed me
That's why you weep
It's me you need"

...I think the biggest problem with "love" nowadays is that people don't want relationships...they just want to be loved without giving anything back. So they take all they can and offer nothing, stepping on other people to get to the front, and then destroying others when it all falls apart because it was "personal."

You have to love to be loved, and love others without expecting to get anything back. It's the freest feeling-- love without chains.
